Blog List API.
A standalone REST API for saving blog links, authors, and like counts with Express and MongoDB.
- Node.js
- Express
- MongoDB
- Mongoose
About the project
An early standalone version of the Full Stack Open blog backend. It separates routes, models, configuration, and middleware, and exposes a small API for a reading list. The later version with users and a frontend is part of the main Full Stack Open repository.
What’s inside
- List all blog entries or retrieve one by ID.
- Create, update, and delete saved blog links.
- Validate required title and URL fields on creation.
- Store entries in MongoDB with clean JSON identifiers.
- Handle malformed IDs and unknown endpoints.
Current stage
This repository contains an API, not a complete blog publishing platform. Authentication and automated tests are not included in this standalone version.
Setup instructions and more technical details are in the repository README (opens in a new tab).
